Taiwan money scandal has White House ties
Bush officials under scrutiny in influence-peddling intrigue.

By Joshua Micah Marshall

April 5, 2002 | WASHINGTON -- An influence-peddling scandal has erupted in Taiwain, and Bush administration officials have been named in leaked Taiwanese intelligence documents as the recipients of financial support. And while it's too soon to tell whether the story has the stamina to make it halfway around the world, the U.S. officials named -- including Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul D. Wolfowitz and two assistant secretaries of state, along with a Clinton Defense Department appointee -- have already clammed up, refusing to talk to the press.

There is no evidence of any lawbreaking, but the scandal does threaten to expose the type of political influence-peddling that Washington is both renowned -- and reviled -- for.

MSI,

Have you seen anything else on this one? Seems like a nice little scandal to expose come October or so.....

Salaams, Ray
